Just before the break, McQuillan had made a wonderful save to deny Claire O'Riordan a certain goal. In the second period, Shelbourne had a goal disallowed for offside after five minutes, and a minute later, Maria Delahunty for WYW was through on goal, but her shot was pushed away by McQuillan. With nine minutes gone, Shels looked to make the game safe, when a good run and cross by Killeen was finished to the net by a Shels attacker for 3-0. However, WYW continued to press and on ten minutes, Linda Douglas had a shot pushed away by McQuillan for a corner. WYW applied further pressure from then on, but the Shels defence managed to keep the lid on most of the WYW attacking ploys. With 20 minutes to go, Orla Casey came on in place of Emma Hansberry for the Youths. Just as Wexford looked like not troubling the scoreboard a close-in effort by Kylie Murphy hit the back of the net although it seemed to get a major deflection off a Shels defender. With two minutes to go in the game, McQuillan tipped over the bar another effort on goal by Linda Douglas, and Shels were home and hosed on a 3-1 scoreline.
